glcaines nailed it. Put a pair of BatteryMinder 2012-AGMs on your Hawkers and they may last forever!! I have a pair of 2008's that are going strong being kept warm and happy and defibrillated by the 2012's.

Welcome! Good looking 09. Well besides the obvious Harper Kansas Fire Dept, before that your only hope is to look for unit markings under that very nice red paint. Markings would have been stenciled on the front and rear bumpers. If HFD sanded those off, well unfortunately nobody knows.

Yes but they don't have military models in the system. Tell them you have a 1955 CJ-5.

2.73 a mile for winch on winch off load is a bit light. Suggest you get off U Ship and rely on a broker that understands these commodities like United States of Freight.

these bearings are shot in your knuckle, replace them.

next time heat it with a cutting torch and then put a pipe wrench on it.

Google "quasi title". Hope he still has the purchase paperwork.

Ha here I go again. Items 1, 2 & 3 make the radio on the left sponson, called a AN/GRR-5 or "angry 5" shortwave receiver. Very good tube radio. items 4, 5 & 7 make the AN/VRC-10 transceiver, FM 38-55 Mhz. The base is MT-299. Standard field vehicular radio 1950's. Angry 5 good bargain price...

For sure your M170 was a USMC radio Jeep, see the two large holes in the dash to the right of the instrument cluster. The radios the previous owner installed are not the correct radios for the MRC setup anyway so no harm in removing them. Your radios are very much in demand by military vehicle...

Looks good! USMC AN/MRC radio Jeep would have many many extra holes everywhere including a big hole in the dash for a radio related voltmeter or hourmeter.

Says Cat model 120 right on the cover???

OK here you go: Your manual is TM5-3805-249-12 (find online) Your machine NSN is 3805-00-466-0084 Your thermostat is P/N VD10333 / NSN 6685-00-893-8332, which crosses to Cat P/N 3M6008 and Mil Standard MS35770-3

Construction equipment did not necessarily get a "M" number. From the machine's main data plate, what is the National Stock Number (NSN) or Federal Stock Number (FSN)? Googling this number might help you.

Huh? The gusset is bowed out at least 1/4"!!! What I have done is beat on the plate, that shatters the rust, then blow it out with compressed air, repeat over and over, then when the cavity is empty, beat the plate back down and drown the cavity with zinc rich primer, and seal all around with...

Maybe. What happens to people over and over with these trucks is that driveshaft vibrations transmit up to the engine accessories and shake them loose, cracking the front timing cover and breaking the oil line behind the air compressor resulting in all oil loss in seconds.

Google: 3930-01-053-4824 and download the manuals from “liberatedmanuals”.

Yes. Do a search within the FMTV forum for “hinge test” or “hinging test”.

Don’t even leave until you have checked the driveshafts for spline wear. And if ok, check the tightness of the compressor, water pump and alternator bolts every fuel stop. Also check the fan hub for rubber deterioration.

Can you post a picture of the data plate? There are different versions of that RT forklift.

My advice to you is find a small weld shop that is very convenient to you and let him take a look at it. Fixing these paper thin frames is a simple matter of cutting out rust holes and making patch pieces and welding them in with a wire feed welder.
